Victoria Livesey, BACP

Victoria Livesey is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and grief. She explains what she does in simple terms and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or uncertain. Victoria holds BACP accreditation, and her work focuses on creating space for honest conversation without judgement.

She has four years of professional experience supporting people through life changes, loss, and difficult relationships. Sessions are about listening, naming what matters, and trying small, practical steps that make daily life easier. Victoria emphasises straightforward techniques that people can use between meetings.

Her approach draws on client-centred ways of working, Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at relationship patterns, and mindfulness practices to help with overwhelming thoughts. She also uses solution-focused ideas to set clear goals and trauma-focused methods when past events are affecting current wellbeing.

Victoria commonly helps with issues such as low mood, anxiety, parenting stress, problems with intimacy, addiction concerns, and caregiver strain. She also lists a focus on aging and geriatric issues and supports people dealing with chronic illness, bereavement and complex family situations.

She generally works Monday to Thursday, 8am to 5pm. To begin, someone would choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule a session according to her availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they help online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience, helping people feel heard and more able to make choices that suit them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people name and change interaction cycles that cause distress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to reduce rumination and manage overwhelming feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which method or combination feels most useful. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs evolve.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises or emotion-focused conversations from wherever they are, while still following a clear plan set with the therapist.
